I recently purchased an Ed Roos Company Cedar Chest. I am trying to find out when it was made and the value. The chest has the model sticker on the bottom, but nothing is written on it. It also has a tag stapled inside that has no information written on it. Any information that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.
I just acquired two asian vases with makers marks on them. I believe they are made of gunmetal and they are black with a goldish inlay. It seems each vase has a different makers mark, thus I come to the conclusion that they are not a set. However, they have basically the same theme as one another. The condition is most likely Good - Fair. Could someone please tell me who made each vase and a general value of each vase by itself? I would really appreciate the help being as I have looked around and have not been able to find these exact vases that have maker marks on them.
Pictures are named by which vase it is. V1 = Vase one V2= Vase 2
For Sale: After I get some decent feedback that lets me know what my items are, I'm open to selling them.
This vintage, hand wrought tray measures 12' X 12" wide. 13 1/2" corner to corner. It is stamped on the bottom...ARTHUR ARMOR...
There are some scratches from normal use...quite a few scratches on the underside. This item dates back to a time I cannot establish. "VERY OLD". Was found in my Grandfathers' estate. Been packed away for at least 50 years that I know of, but in very good condition, so maybe that gives an idea of age. Lots of fine detail with the eyes. Very nice work.
